Richard Short Dick Short was the coach of the varsity basketball team. The team had a rough season, and many times it was a losing battle right from the first of the game. However, Coach Short taught the boys an important lesson in life. It's not a matter of whether or not you win a game, it's the way you play. He showed the boys the value of sportsmanship, and because of his teaching they always played their best, win or lose. CAPTAINS Tom Gillaspie Tom Gillaspie coaches the football and the track teams for College View High School. This year his team in football, under the guidance of his fine coaching, did fairly well. Al- though they did not have an unde- feated season, they proved them- selves worthy of recommendation. His track team improved with every meet they entered. He is a good pal to all those who work under his supervision in athletics. Woody Oaks has lettered three years in football. At the close of the 1952 football season, he was elected second string back of the Ak-Sar-Ben Eight con- ference. He was honored at the Sertoma Club luncheon for football. This was Dwayne Selk's first year at College View, and be- ing ineligible in sports the first semester because of his late entrance, he was not able to reach his peak of performance until the last four games. This year was the first Gay- lord Duff had ever been able to come out for track. He can do almost anything in this sport, but his favorite event is the mile run. Page 23
